A Short History of Myth (Myths series) by Karen Armstrong, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

What are myths? How have they evolved? And why do we still so desperately need them? A history of myth is a history of humanity, Karen Armstrong argues in this insightful and eloquent book: our stories and beliefs, our attempts to understand the world, link us to our ancestors and each other. This is a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest sense – from Palaeolithic times to the “Great Western Transformation" of the last 500 years – and why we dismiss it only at our peril. | A Short History of Myth (Myths series) by Karen Armstrong, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
